Second, while I agree wholeheartedly that better pics would help, when I crop, enlarge, rotate, and enhance your current pics, I see enough detail to say that this copper-colored piece appears to be modeled off of a 7th-8th Century Byzantine gold solidus, such as the one in this numista link: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces151492.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 11/26/2019 7:15 pm Thx guys. For me, the key identifying characteristic was the cross on the platform comprising 4 steps.
